I was young abthe time, and. no doubt had the usual desire (if-my sex to please.

During the fall of a gpe‘flihl year I became conscious, however, that a certain Mr. Barry Lee,“~a gentleman whom I knew to be an intimate ac- QUaintance of one of employers, and whose face was quito’Well known to all in the establishment, began to occasionally drop into my depart- ment and look on during instruction hours. He was very pleasant and gentlemanly in his manners, and gave as an excuse for the interest he took, that he was a horn Yankee and there- fore very fond of inventions. The positionpf instructress brought me almost; entirely in contact with my own sex, Sometimes I had a male pupilâ€"one of a mildly mechani .cal turn, who would wish to become familiar with the machine, so as to be able to assist some Wife or sister; but the instructiwn-room, as a rule, was equally quite free from frequent; visits of the sterner sex. The present recollection always comes back to me at the Christmas time; and‘ therefore when the season rolls around again, with its merri- ment and cheer, its mistletoe and holly, its written and unwritten tra- gedies and comedies of life, I feel like recounting it to others. ‘Even nomflyiough time has brought its changes't‘oé me, and I no longer haunt the old familiar places, I often find myself recalling one and another among the many romances and stories in whiuh figured as an interested and sympathetic listener, and occa- sionally an" unsuspected actor. My duties were very monotonous; but I used to extract a considerable amount of interest and amusement, while engaged in giving instruction, from learning the historieswâ€"nnd they were variedâ€"of my scholars. If the proverbial cup of tea unlocks the female tongue,’ I found that a lesson on the machine, and initiation into the mysteries of setting a needle, winding a bobbin, and regulating a tension, were even more conducive to communication. I do not wish to appear egotistical; butI must conâ€" fess to quite a power which I seemed to possess of gaining the confidence of my pupils, through my habit of taking an intenest in them; also that I was very fond of an “ower true tale; ” perhaps some malicious critic would call my propensity by no higher name than female curiosity. I do not think there is any need of my explaining how ii happened, that I, who when" born had expectations of quite a fair fortune, should have found myself, when womanhood came, obliged to earn my daily bread. But so it was ; and in one of the large sewing-machine emporiums (no mat- ter which one) of a leading American city, I held a position as a. teacher for‘ several years.

Unfortunatelyr for the wife, also, her husband had been taught to look up-to his mother and sister as the best of women, and had fondly fan- cied that when his new treasure came under his control all those little weak- messes of which he had soon became aware after marriage, Would be cured by their example and advice. But his sanguine hopes were doomed to early disappointment. Instead of'his wife growing docile and yielding, she became more wilful and intractable, rebelled with a high spirit against any rule, and looked upon' her hus- band more as acompanion with whom to enjoy the amusements of 'fashion- able society, than a helpmate and a friend with whom to pass through the trials and cares of life. Still she -He had married a patted, Wayward, beautiful girlâ€"the only child of weal- thy parents, Who had by injudicious management fostered every weakness of her character. He had formed her acquaintance, and married‘ber after a short courtship, while on a visit to her native town, and after a few months removed to the city where he now made his residence. He had brought her home to the house of his mother, who, with’ his sister, was of the true New England type. They were thorough-going, practical wo- women, notable housekee ers; slight- ly Puritanieal in their eliefs, and holding very little sympathy with youth andinexperience. The young wife was impulsive, unused to discip- line ofany kind, careless, ignorant of any habits of industry, but warm~ hearted and affectionate. No doubt a very troublesome relative to ‘the staid, methodical women with whom shQLOQK up her residence. a matter of n5 éonscquence in con- nection with this story. What I ad- ditionally discovered, however, is of consequence. ' That revenge was nearer than I could possibly have dreamed ;’ and unlike most revenges, no sorrow is entailed by the recollection. But of that anon. Following the discovery, the first thing I did was to enlarge it by ascertaining particularsâ€"how, is 3 At last, from an accidental remark of one of my employers, I discovered the “skeleton in his closet.” He was a married man, but separated from his wife. I think that I felt a little pained at the information 5 and I certainly .could not help the coldness of my manner when next I met him. He saw the change, and asked with his eyes for an explanation, though not with his tongue. Had he taken the latter liberty, it is very possible that I might have told him, and then â€"â€"this story would never have been written I As it was, a few hours thoroughly calmed mo; showed me something ofthe imprudeuee ofwhich I had been guilty, in making so close an acquaintance with a man about whom I knew literally nothing; and roused all the woman within me, in pride and a. dim, suspicion of revenge. i We became very good friends, even- tually; indeed, I am afraid that should I confess to the truth, we indulged a. little in harmless and pleasant flirtation, I know that I Was always pleased to see him ; and I am sure that he often lingered beSldO me in a manner savoring a. little of devotion. Still this was only on the surface; and I grew more and more certain from a melancholy that often possessed him, that there was some secret connected with his domestic life, of an unhappy character. 4. It was during a somewhat extended conversation, one day, some Weeks after our first acquaintance, that the thought flashed across my mind that he had seen trouble and was unhappy in connection with his affections. His opinion of the female sex, I discov- ered upon probing him a little, were not very enthusiastic or rose-colored. Semetimes, when speaking of mar- riage and its relations, I thought his remarks rather cynical and bitter; and once or twice he criticised‘some of my young and fashionable pupils very severely, seeming to have a very poor opinion ofthem as to their use- fulness as probable wives and moth ers. I naturally always defend my sex; and once when I laughingly ex- pressed my belief that ifI ever should ‘see the woman destined to be his Wife, it would be one of those same pretty, useless, fashionable creatures against Whom he railed so bitterlyâ€"~a look of pain passed across his face, that set me to thinking thatI had touched a sore spot in his experience. 'I found that he was well educated. had traveled considerably in his own country, and knew, as they say, ff men and things.” ‘His intimate friend- ship with one of the firm prevented any remarks as-to the frequency of 'his visits ;' and he made the additional apology for possible intrusion, that he was very much at his leisure, and sometimes thought of connecting himself with the business. I must admit that I was quite interested in him, and felt pleased when sometimes he would bring me some favorite book about which we had conversed 1and exchanged views, or ask my opinion on some magazine article that was engrossing public attention. I had never given a thought to his relations in lifeâ€"whether he was married or single: he had simply been to me a pleasant episode among my daily labors; and the flash of his blue eyes and frank smile, when sa- luting me, I at first considered as merely among the other usual inci- dents of my daily life. riage ceremony, and leave the feasting and frolic for a subsequent time? lVe are sure there are few girls who, if they reflect on the seriousness of the step they are about to take, will not choose to make their vow merely within the loving limits of their home circle. All Our best instincts point to the absolute simplicity and privacy of wedding ser- vices ; only a perversron of delicacy could contemplate the asking of crowds of half sympathetic or wholly-curious people to attend the fulfilment of the most solemn of contracts. Let there be as much party-making, rejoicing and pleasure-taking afterwards as hearts de- sire; but .let the solemn vows be made in the presence only of those nearest and dearest. A Wedding must not be uncheerful ; but it must certainly be solemn to all who realize What it is. On the oneside it is renouncing old ties, promising to begin with faith, and hope, and love a new and wholly untried existence. On the other, it is the acceptance of a. sa- cred trust, the covenant to order life aner in such ways as shall make the happiness of two instead of one. Can such an occasion be fitting for revelry? Is it not wiser, more delicate, to bid only the nearest of friends to the mar- As the semiâ€"annual bridal season is at hand, it is the time to plead for a reform in weddings. Every year this sucredest of all occasions is turned more and more into a mere opportunity for display, and for replying to some fan- cied social obligation Instead of the ime when a few of the closest friends gathered to witness the solemnest com- pact human beings can f1 ame, it is chosen at the moment for bringing to- gether the larger part of a family’s social circle, to show the bride in her bridal garments; to prove how many flowers and refreshments the family can afford; and, with shame be it said, to exhibit to criticism and light comment the pre- cious tokens that should have come with tender regard to the maid on the eve of her new life. o) The New York correspondent of the Boston Times credits a prominent municipal officer of' the former city with having discovered a method of converting women into clean cash. The discoverer, it is alleged, has been ‘ speculating in wives for some years‘ past, and has come out of his Specular tions with a handsome fortune. His first speculation was with his first wife some years ago. The physician having pronounced her to be in con- sumption and informed him she could not live through the Winter, he went to an insurance ofl‘ice and took out a policy of $10,000 on her life. ' N0 ex- amination was made, the company taking his word for itthat she was in robust health. He then carried the policy to a second office and on the strength of it got another $510,000, and thus kept on repeating the ope- ration until his policies reached the sum of $100,000. His wife died the following February, and rather than incur the displeasure ofa man of his power and influence, the companies paid the amount without any protest. He then set about him for another speculation, and finding a wealthy ‘ woman many years his junior he laid seige to her and married her. Her relatives, before the marriage, had demanded that he should settle cer- tain property upon her, which he did, taking to mortgage it for nearly all it was worth. When the trick was discov- ered she left him, but meanwhile he had made $100,000 out of her. third speculation in wives netted him $250,000, so that out of the three wives he has, cleared $450,000, and even now he is not satisfied. In the light of such developments as these woman becomes more precious than ever. her financial value becomes greatly enhanced. She is a perfect treasure. â€"â€"0hz'eago Tribune. ‘ the precaution, however, His ‘ 1 1 l 1 : s t 1 In addition to her social value ' _.... The Financial Value of Women. Such was the painful story, as I gathered the particulars~no rare one in the world, I am quite aware, and yet sad enough as embodying the wreck of two lives.

The proof of his crime was conclusive, and there was really no chance of escape from the consequences, yet he said he would not die on the gallows. It was sup- posed irom this that he expected a commutation of the penalty, and his appeals to the Governor were persist- ent. A few days ago he received a final refusal of clemency, and a. jailer, taunted him with the probability that he would die on the gallows, in spitel of his declaration. “Wait and see,” he replied: That night he set about his own executionâ€"very stealthily, because the jailer was on guard close by in the corridor. His cell was dark and he removed his boots so as to make no noise. A strap. which had beeen used to sharpen razors was at hand, and of this he made a noose, fastening it to an iron bar that ran, across the ceiiing. He stood on a. chair, adjusted the noose and then stepped off. So erfect was his self- control that, alt ough his arms and legs were free, he made no noise by struggling while slowly choking to death. The new palace of the Sultan of Turkey, called Tcheragan, which has been recently built in Constantino- ple, issaid to be very beautiful. There is nothing like it, and nothing to ri- val it, in any capital of Europe. In: the beauty of the interior, and the‘ marvelous richness of its arabseques and Saracenic traceries, there is nothâ€" ing to be compared to it that I have seen in the rest of the world. What its cost may have been I know not. But looking to the perfect execution of the minutest details, the wealth and profusion of ornamental work of the most delicate finish, in marble, in ivory, and marqueterieâ€"spread over a vast suite ofrooms and halls ofim- perial dimensionsâ€"~the cost must have been enormous. Pure soft water is the best of all blood-purifiers. It dissolves almost every impurity that may find its way into the blood, and passes it off through the skin, lungs and kidneys, thus washing out the blood without any irritation in‘ passing through the system and without those chemical changes and deposits which are likely to arise from the action of drugs. Why then use doubtful, dangerous and’often injurious drugs for purifying the blood when pure, simple, safe, pleasant and far more effectual water may be had without money and with- out price?

Guinot, meeting with a large wolfe, immediately assumed the ofâ€" fensive, and after driving the animal into a thicket with‘m‘ones, pursued her advantage with a. pitchfork, and very shortly after; comin to' qse quarters, slew her redoubta lo a and carried the bodyjn 'triu nto the village of Villarsâ€"en-Azois. ,5 "The Bishop of Wurtsbj’tg once asked a sprightly little shepigrd boy, "What are you doing here my; lad ? ’ “ Tending swine.” “How ngfich do you get?” f‘ One florin a woflg.” I aim also a. shepherd," continf’ they BishOp, “ but I get much mo yfpay.” “Then I suppose you have? more swine under your care,” innenently replied the boy. 1' ’ iscellanoous 1150311533“ To obtain a light instantly without the use of matches and without the danger of setting things afire, take an oblong vial of the whitest and clearest glass ; put into it a piece of phosphorus the size of a pea, upon which pour some olive oil, heated to the boiling point, filling the vial about one-third full, and then seal the vial hermetic- ally. To use it, remove the cork and allow the air to enter the vial and then. re-cork. The empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will be equal to that of a lamp. As soon as the lamp grows weak, its power can be increased by opening the vial and allowing a fresh supply of air to ent- er. In winter it is sometimes neces- sary to heat the vial between the hands to increase the‘ fluidity of the oil. Thus prepared the vial may be used for six months. This prepared con- contrivance is now used by the Watch; men of Paris in all magazines Where explosive or inflammable materials are used. “It can’t be possible that I have been again deceived,” said the lady; “ but this is the story: About one lo’clock today, a pale, and rather in- teresting young gentleman, dressed iin n seedy suit of lack, came to the house in great hasteâ€"almost out of breath. He said he was 'ust from court; that he was one of t e clerks ; that the great villain who had had the audacity to steal your honor’s watch had been arrested; that r the evidence was nearly perfect to con- vict him, and all that was required to complete it was the turkey, which must be brought into court, and for that he had been sent with a porter by your express orders.” “And you gave it to him ? ” “Of course I did. Who would have doubted him or resisted the orders of a judge ?” ' ‘rWatchâ€"find turkeyâ€"both gong! Pray, madame, What; are we to do for a. dinner ? ” But the lady had taken care of her guests,'and the party enjoyed both. the joke and their dinner. “ You are always talking riddles,"’ replied he ; " explain yourself, my dear, I know nothing of thief, watdh, or conviction.” v “ How happy am I,” exclaimed she, “ that the villain was apprehended I ” “ Apprehended! ” said the judge with surprise. ‘ “ Yes, and doubtless convicted, too, by this time,” said his wife. The trick was a cunning one; and after a laugh and the restoration of i the judge’s good humor by agood din- ner, it was resolved actually to have the turkey‘ for"t6-'inorrow.’s dinner, and to have his honor’s brothers of the bench to enjoy so dear a merge]. Accordingly, after the adjournment of court next day, they all repaired to his dwelling with appetites sharp- ened by the expectation of a rare re- past. Scareely had they entered and exchanged the ordinary salutations, when the lady broke forth with con- gratulations to his honor upon the re- covery of his stolen watch. _ “ Precisely, my dear; the very per- son you sent for it! You had not left ‘ home more than an hour, when a Well dressed man knocked at the door and asked to see me. He brought one of the finest turkeys I ever saw; and said that on your way to court you met anIndian with a number of fowls, and having bought this one at quite a bargain, you had given him a couple of reals to bringit home, with there- quest that I would have it killed, picked, and put to cool, as you‘in- tended to invite your brother judges to dine with you tomorrow. And ‘ 0h ! by the way, Senorita,’ said he, ‘his excellenoy the judge requested me to ask you to give yourself the trouble to go to your chamber and take his watch from under the pillow, where he says he left it as usual this morning. and send it to him by me.’ ‘And of course I did so." “You did i‘ ” said the judge. “Certainly,” said the lady. “Well,” replied his honor, “all I can say to you, my dear, is, that you are as great a goose as the bird is a turkey. You’ve been robbed, madam. The man was a thief ,' I never sent for my watch. You’ve been imposed on, and the watch is lost forever I” He went on the ben’oh‘hnd fl‘iofight no more of it.
